[CowboyTed]

But there were NEVER 27 mass school shootings! You are being suckered by the MSM that needs this kind of news!
How sad people like you ENCOURAGE idiots like the Uvalde shooter to do stupid things in an area all for notoriety.
And you and your fellow idiots encourage the news.
If you take time read this short excerpt from wow a scientific study as to why MSM loves these negative stories and pumps them up with 7/24 coverage... and idiots like you believe EVERYTHING the MSM puts out!
Now bad news is better for advertising than good news!
"News coverage of current affairs is predominantly negative."

Cross-national evidence of a negativity bias in psychophysiological reactions to news

News coverage of current affairs is predominantly negative. American accounts of this tendency tend to focus on journalistic practices, but this cannot easily account for negative news content around the world. It is more likely that negativity in news is a product of a human tendency to be more...

www.pnas.org

So do newspapers report the race more often if the aggressor/bad guy is white and earlier in the article.

Yes, the Media Bury the Race of Murderers—If They're Not White

Frank James, the man arrested for Tuesday's New York City subway shooting, is a black nationalist and outspoken racist who railed against whites, Jews, and Hispanics. A careful reader of the New York Times could be forgiven for overlooking that. In a nearly-2,000 word article on the attack...

freebeacon.com

As a result, intelligent smart people discount the biased news that obviously hates Whites, Americans, and by making more articles with Whites as the bad guys, the papers sell more advertising as they will have as the above article proves..."bad news coverage is better"!

I know..

Why can't they put a positive spin on School Shootings...

 

[healthmyths]

I know..

Why can't they put a positive spin on School Shootings...

And is that what you see is the issue? Mass shootings not a positive value? Boy how sick you are.
Get the facts like this....

Two weeks after the Parkland school shooting on Valentine’s Day in 2018, 638 copycat threats targeted schools nationwide.
These threats are often jokes or hoaxes that spread through social media, but they can still be harmful.
Lankford also studied 24 mass shooters who openly admitted they wanted fame or contacted the media directly to get it. Studies of mass shooters that are based on available documentation and interviews found that many had narcissistic personalities that crave fame and attention; narcissistic personality disorder is often not considered a mental illness.

The American Psychological Association recommends that mass media deny shooters the fame they desire by not sharing so many details about them and instead direct their attention to the victims and their stories

Does Media Coverage Inspire Copy Cat Mass Shootings?

Decreasing media contagion could reduce the number of mass shootings, but other public health steps are needed like making it more difficult to obtain guns

[Briss]

The list is very long........not all shootings are the same but all are school shootings.

Sure. If a guy robbing a store in a town fires a weapon, and the bullet, unintended for a school or children, lands in the corner of a playground at one in the morning, that's a school shooting.

Of course, no one expects anyone to really go over the cases and find out what kind of bullshitters is being printed. But sometimes someone is going to do it. Like right now . . .
